Bioluminescence is the fascinating natural phenomenon by which living creatures produce
light. Bioluminescence occurs when the oxidation of a small-molecule luciferin is catalysed …

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a nonradiative process whereby an
excited state donor D (usually a fluorophore) transfers energy to a proximal ground state …

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSC) have shown potential clinical utility.
However, previous assessments of MSC behavior in recipients have relied on visual …

The nucleotide sequence of the luciferase gene from the firefly Photinus pyralis was
determined from the analysis of cDNA and genomic clones. The gene contains six introns …

The cloning and expression of the lux genes from different luminescent bacteria including
marine and terrestrial species have led to significant advances in our knowledge of the …

This book, written by a distinguished scientist in the field, provides a comprehensive
overview of the biochemical aspects of all luminous organisms currently known. It is the first …

▪ Abstract To advance our understanding of biological processes as they occur in living
animals, imaging strategies have been developed and refined that reveal cellular and …

Photoproteins have played a major role in advancing our understanding of biological
processes. A broader array of biocompatible, nontoxic, and novel reporters can serve to …

Background: Firefly luciferase is a 62 kDa protein that catalyzes the production of light. In the
presence of MgATP and molecular oxygen, the enzyme oxidizes its substrate, firefly luciferin …

Fertile transgenic Zea mays (corn) plants which stably express heterologous DNA which is
heritable are disclosed along with a process for producing said plants. The process …
